Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴔ has the Unicode code point U+2D14. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thex
are the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2D14 to binary:
00101101 00010100
. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100010 10110100 10010100

Description
U+2D14 is the Unicode code point for Georgian Small Letter Phar (ძ), a unique character from the Georgian script used primarily in digital text. As a part of the Kartvelian family, it plays a significant role in the representation and communication of the Georgian language, which has been spoken by millions of people in Georgia and its neighboring countries for centuries. The Georgian alphabet, one of the oldest writing systems in the world, is known for its distinct and visually appealing design featuring unique cursive ligatures that give it a rich cultural context. The character U+2D14 specifically contributes to the phonetic representation of the sound /pʰ/ or /f/, allowing accurate and clear communication within the Georgian language. In digital text, it enables the precise expression of linguistic nuances that may be lost in transliteration or transcription using Latin script, making it an essential component for those engaging with or studying this unique language and its rich cultural heritage.
